Apollo Hospitals is a major hospital chain based in Chennai, India. It was founded by Dr.
Prathap C. Reddy in 1983. Apollo is the largest private healthcare provider in Asia and the third

largest in the world, with hospitals in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ghana, Nigeria, Qatar, and
Kuwait.
Several of the group's hospitals in India have been among the first in India to receive a form of
international healthcare accreditation, in their case by the American-based Joint Commission
International (JCI).[1] The Hyderabad hospital was the first in the world, outside the US, to
receive JCI's Disease- or Condition-Specific Care (DCSC) Certification in addition to general
accreditation when it received this for its Acute Stroke treatment in 2006.[2]. However, they have
not as yet acquired international accreditation from any hospital accreditation group from outside
of the USA.
The group has developed services in telemedicine, after starting a pilot project in 2000 in Dr
Pratap C. Reddy's own home village.[3] It is now the largest telemedicine provider in India with
71 centres.[4]
Another venture of the group is Apollo Health Street, a global healthcare services company. It
offers business process outsourcing (BPO)and IT services internationally, operating out of three
countries - the United States, the United Kingdom, and three centres in India (Hyderabad, New
Delhi, and Chennai).
